We must work as if Jim Webb, Jon Tester and Claire McCaskill will vote against us because in all likelyhood, they will.

We should work as if anyone who hasnt promised to vote with us will vote against us. However, based on their votes so far, these three are more likely to vote with us.

AFAIK, Tester (and Baucus) have voted with us on all key votes. Webb and McCaskill voted against cloture. I watched McCaskill talk about the bill on CSPAN. She didnt sound like a liberal to me; she talked mostly about putting employers who hire illegals in jail.

Webb has said he will not vote for the bill if it gives amnesty to most illegals. His amendment would cut down eligibility to something like 4-5 million, and he claims that is the only way he will give this thing his blessing.

They’ll come out saying that due to some ‘key’ changes they now find the bill exceptable.
